And, CSUB played in the final Alaskan Shootout during Thanksgiving. There are a lot of holiday tournaments with quality opponents. It's probably better to be on the road while the Havoc is on break anyway.

We actually did play in a holiday tournament two years ago in Las Vegas. We beat Houston and Marshall to take the tourney championship. Not sure why we haven't been able to schedule something similar these past two years.

I remember that tournament. It was one of several quality wins, along with San Diego State, NMSU, and an excellent showing against Louisville. This year we played in the Grand Canyon Classic... and lost. San Diego was a good team, but not an amazing team. GCU does play better against tougher competition. They played their best game of the year against Boise.

Depending on how this season goes, they may get an invite to a quality tournament either at the holiday break or at the season tip off.
